Introduction to Pathology vol.1

Learn about the types of "pathological diagnosis”

Hello! This is Naoko from in recruitment / public relations team at Medmain. In this blog “Medmain Speaks”, you can find interviews with our members, company news and so on but we also would like to write a series of articles about pathology, as it is the most related area of our service. The terms such as “Pathology” “Pathologist” may not be well known generally. Today, I would like to introduce you some types of “pathology”.

Deep Learning Models to Classify Epithelial Tumours of Stomach and Colon for Supporting Routine Histopathological Diagnosis

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) within the computational pathology workflow would be of high benefit for easing the ever increasing workloads on pathologists, especially in regions that have shortages in access to pathological diagnosis services

How it started? According to global cancer statistics, stomach and colon cancers are amongst the most common leading causes of cancer deaths in the world, with stomach cancer ranking fourth in men and seventh in women, and colon cancer ranking third in men and second in women. Histopathological classification of gastric and colonic epithelial tumours is one of the routine pathological diagnosis tasks for pathologists. Computational pathology techniques based on Artificial intelligence (AI) would be of high benefit in easing the ever increasing workloads on pathologists, especially in regions that have shortages in access to pathological diagnosis services.
